Watch out: Reaches across a lot of surfaces at once, which is the point and also the thing to check against your own data rules. The free plan stops at five meeting transcripts a month, and the compliance features sit in Enterprise+, which takes a minimum of five licences and so starts near $150 a month.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Business, sold to teams rather than to one person
Billed yearly
$21/mo
Microsoft 365 Copilot Business plan −17%
Watch out: An add-on rather than a standalone purchase: the enterprise Copilot seat is $30 a user a month on top of a qualifying Microsoft 365 licence you must already hold, and Copilot Chat is only included if you already pay for an eligible subscription. Agents need an Azure subscription on top again.

Two things separate these and both are on every card.
Fit
Whether a tool is built for this job, a strong fit for it, or
able to do it without that being its focus.
Free plan
Whether there is a tier you can keep using rather than a
trial that expires.
The order
Fit first, then a free plan, then alphabetical. There is
no score, no weighting we decline to publish, and nothing on this site a company can buy.
Questions
What is the best ai for meetings?
There is no single answer, which is why this page lists 6 rather than one: Fireflies.ai, Fathom, Otter.ai, Read AI, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Riverside. 4 of them are built for this kind of work rather than able to do it. Start with a free one.
Which of these have a free plan?
5 of the 6: Fireflies.ai, Fathom, Otter.ai, Read AI, Riverside. Free means a real free tier you can keep using, not a trial that expires.
How was this list chosen?
By hand, from the 750 products this site tracks, and it is checked against the catalogue on every build — a product renamed or removed breaks the build rather than quietly disappearing from here. Nothing on this site can be paid for: no listing, no position, no wording.
